About this coloring page
A cheerful puppy sits on its haunches with its head tilted and its tongue poking out of a wide grin. Long floppy ears hang down beside its face, a collar with a round tag circles its neck, and its tail curls up happily. Next to it rests a ball divided into curved stripes, just waiting to be thrown.
Coloring ideas
Children can color the puppy to look like their own dog or a dream pet: golden, chocolate brown, black and white spotted, or speckled. Give the collar a bright color and write the puppy's name on the tag. The ball's stripes are perfect for alternating two or three colors, like a beach ball.
Skills practiced
Naming the puppy and writing it on the tag is a small, meaningful handwriting task. You can also chat about how to care for a pet (food, water, walks, gentle hands) and describe the puppy with adjectives such as fluffy, playful, small or happy.
Printing tips
Print this one at full size so the round tag is big enough to write a name inside. Markers make the ball stripes pop; for a classroom, pair it with the kitten page so children can pick their favorite pet.
